Josie Maran’s sheer blush is available at Sephora.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I know that I take on a Casper-like pallor in the winter. In an embarrassing encounter, an event photographer once adjusted his lighting after snapping my picture and then looked at me, looked back at his camera, and said "Oh wait, that’s just your face."

Nice.

Suffice to say I need a great blush to warm up my complexion and give me a little glow. This sheer blush layers on beautifully over tinted moisturizer and adds a really pretty dewy finish. It’s a winter lifesaver. Now I’ll just have to dab some on and find that photog to redeem myself.
